I haven't received a payment since August. My ex received both stimulus checks. When I ask for an update they say no updates and they will reach out to the other state
If your ex is behind in his court-ordered child support or alimony payments, you will need to file a contempt action against him in the Court that issued the order. It is not clear who you are referring to by stating "they say no updates." If you are referring to child support services,... Read more »
So how and why does he get to keep it all.
It is not quite clear what you are asking. The IRS allows the custodial parent to claim the minor child on his/her taxes. The custodial parent is the parent who has the child more nights during the year than the other parent. However, the custodial parent can agree to allow the non-custodial parent... Read more »
Contact an attorney where the mother lives. (not sure whether you mean Los Angeles or Louisiana.)
We would need to know where you are in regard to the process in order to provide you with guidance. Is this your first time addressing child support, are you being called back in, etc.? It’s always a good idea to work with an attorney.
No, it’s not legal for people to hit you and it should be reported.
There is no form. That request is not likely to be granted.
There is no form to do something like that. If you feel there is a legal case regarding his parenting rights you should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with the options.
I pay 2750 a month in combined child support and alimony on the 1st and 15th of each month, and I set up a payment through my bank into my ex’s bank typically a week before it’s due. The money always comes out of my account before the 1st or the 15th, but sometimes my ex gets it late due to the... Read more »
With respect to child support and I suspect spousal maintenance as well the answer is “no”. While it is “due” on the 1st, it is not uncharacteristic for it to be paid on a person’s pay period end date, usually twice a month. For that reason, it is typical that a month’s support is not...

I am the birth father. The adoptive parents knew they didn’t want a relationship with us, and didn’t let us know until after the adoption was finalized. It’s a nightmare come true.
The terms of the adoption should have been clear in writing from the start. If you feel they are in violation you should consult with attorney right away who can review the facts of your case in detail and present you with the options.

It seems as though information is missing. What is it that he is trying to convince the children of?
I've been in and out of the hospital for the past four years and have been homeless for three years of that. My ex-husband, with whom I share joint custody, yesterday refused to allow me to see, talk to, and spend time with my son. He claims that legally he had the right to refuse me... Read more »
I agree with my colleague. The child support should not stand in the way of being able to visit with the child. However, since four years has passed since you have seen the kids it would be a good idea to work with someone to help insure that things go well getting back into the visits.

Parenting time is not connected to child support. However, given the time you have been away, it may be a good idea to set up counseling to ensure a smooth transition back to regular court ordered parenting time.

My husband's female friends, parents, and relatives told my husband to leave me.
No.
My now ex husband talked me into not getting a lawyer for our divorce. His lawyer did not go over the paperwork with me and advised me it was simple enough to read without a lawyer. I want alimony. Can I still counter claim the divorce?
I agree with the first three responses. As long as the case is open and there have been no court orders which might limit the parties in what they can or cannot do, yes. You could file a counterclaim or, if you have already filed one, you could amend it.
I've spoke to him and his wife about it but still no change. Theyll always have an excuse or simply say the kids are old enough to make their own decisions. Our son is 9 and daughter is 7.
I doubt the court will intervene to modify custody or find the father in contempt. The children’s welfare is not at stake for lack of bathing and brushing their teeth, although I understand the situation is concerning.
My husband cheated on me for 6 years out of the 8 years of our marriage. After he advised me of what he did, he filed for a no contest divorce, not telling his lawyer about his unfaithful actions. Alimony and child support are not included. What do I do?
File an Answer and a Counterclaim for Divorce once you are served with the papers. In the Counterclaim, you can mention the adultery and ask the court to award you child support and alimony.
I'm 3 months pregnant with my first child. The father and I are married but he walked out when I was 2 months pregnant and filed divorce papers a few days later ("irreconcilable differences"). My lawyer wanted to push the divorce through now and address custody later, but his lawyer... Read more »
